Pacquiao was a great entertaining fighter, showcasing his ability in some of the most entertaining and memorable fights in recent times. I will say back in 2010 when this poll was started, if the sport had been banned from practice.. Debate will still spur on with majority believe Pacquiao as the greater of the two while their will be a small group of cultist arguing for Mayweather.
Three years later.. It is now Mayweather that stand on top, however the disdain for Mayweather have also grown in others while some (previously Pacquiao fans) have grown appreciation for the P4P king. Also the resume both fighters have on paper is more in favor of Floyd, with the details besides the names showing mastery while he accomplished those duties.
Imagine if Pacquiao fought Cotto and Guerrerro last year and Floyd fought Bradley and Marquez
Nuff said
Well Pacquiao would had been in more compelling battles where he be greeted with fireworkds while he was giving them. However Cotto wouldn't had fought Pacquiao unless he went to 154. Having a better range of Pacquiao skills now I don't really see him moving through Guerrero as easily as people may think.
Mayweather I see beating Marquez even easier due to the bulk Marquez put him which slowed him considerably. Marquez with lesser bulk and more speed couldn't land on Mayweather at all. Bradley I don't know how it will go but I see Mayweather out thinking Bradley while Bradley try to fight in the inside which may work against him.
